Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
bondmanp, If you don't have an ideal room geometry and you can't have a wide gap between the speakers and the front walls, the room correction definitely helps in cleaning up the lower frequencies. Most audio gurus don't recommend room correcti... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I've had my Ohm cylinders for a little over 4 months now and wanted to share my thoughts with folks that already have Ohm speakers and those who may be interested in purchasing Ohm speakers.I use the Dirac room correction software that comes with ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hi Guys,I have had my Ohm super sound cylinder for over 6 weeks now. I ended up purchasing a Nord One up class D amplifier to provide it with some more juice. The Arcam SR-250 receiver did an OK job but now I can tell the extra power helps tighten...

On the cylinders the Ohm logo is placed where the tweeter is located. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
bondmanp,I think you are absolutely right. We were listening to some piano playback and my wife (which is not into sound systems at all) came over from the adjacent room and said, I almost felt someone is playing the piano in here. I don't have as... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Will do mapman! I am sure as the speakers and the new class D amp break in, the sound gets better and better. I just have to be patient. From what I have heard, both devices need extended break-in time. After reading the comments about folks addin... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Well, The sound cylinders are at last here and I though I would share my experience with you guys.As some of you had mentioned, these speakers are indeed power hungry. I am cranking the Arcam receiver to about 60% volume to get good dynamic sound ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
it'll be very interesting to audition a set of Ohm speaker for the first time. From what I have been told by John S, I would not be disappointed by selecting the cylinder shape if I can live with the aesthetics. Growing up, my dad had a pair of Bo... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks for your input mapman.I think for music playback I definitely don't need a sub in my room and when it comes to movies, I think, I can "live" with not having the couch and the entire surroundings shake. I am however, seriously considering th... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks guys,My intention of getting the 10" driver was to have enough bass to not need subs. Unfortunately, my wife is not into sound systems and her ears are extremely sensitive to bass, she has an "allergic reaction" to the word "sub-woofer" and... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hi Peter,Yeah, I know what you mean. I am sure the 400W/channel mono blocks are going to be more fun and dynamic. I think to be fair to my wallet and to not get myself in trouble, I am going to hold off on the mono blocks until I get familiarized ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Bondmanp and mapman,Thanks for your quick inputs. your suggestions are spot on. I am going to play with the Ohm and Arcam combo for a few weeks and then decide if I really need more power.Just did a quick research on the bel canto and sure enough ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hi Guys,I am still waiting for my Ohm super sound cylinder (10" driver) to arrive but since a few people here have mentioned that these speakers need loads of power, I have started looking at power amps as potential add.I am using an Arcam SR-250 ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks Bondmanp. Now, I have to anxiously wait for them. By second week of June I should have my hands on them.  
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks guys, My setup is going to be 2-channel with no sub. I am going to play with Dirac and see what type of results I am going to get. As you guys have suggested, room correction really comes in handy when blending the sub and other channels to...
